00:01:27 Economics is the science of man's activities devoted to obtaining the material means for...
00:01:34 for the satisfaction of his wants.
00:01:40 Economics is the science of man's activities devoted to obtaining the material means for the satisfaction of his wants.
00:01:46 [Gunshots]
00:01:56 I want to keep your eye on Danny. You're going to see him down at City Hall one of these days.
00:02:00 Ha ha! So says the proud brother-in-law.
00:02:02 Not so fast. I'm not married yet. Besides, Mary has nothing to do with my being part of her brotherhood.
00:02:07 Ha ha.
00:02:09 I know, Tom. Guardian angel of the East Side.
00:02:13 Well, take it from me, with the exception of a few kids like Danny, they'll all end up in jail.
00:02:17 Danny's no different than the rest. What all kids need is to be taught.
00:02:21 Yeah, plenty. When they get to reform school...
00:02:24 Reform school's not the answer.
00:02:26 Extra! Flynn dies tonight. Extra!
00:02:30 [Police radio chatter]
00:02:40 So that's the end of Freddy Flynn.
00:02:43 Say, Tom, didn't you two used to pal around once?
00:02:46 We were brought up together. We fought in the Golden Guzz.
00:02:49 He was the sweetest scrapper you ever saw. He could give you the old one-two like...
00:02:53 Like Mugs McGinnis down at Clancy's Pool Hall.
00:02:55 Yeah, just like Mugs.
00:02:57 Well, see you later, Tom. I've got to do a little legwork.
00:03:08 You'll want to!
00:03:10 I can't so good, we're losing all our enemies!
00:03:12 Get up here!
00:03:13 Lay off, Mugs. I ain't done nothing to you.
00:03:15 So you're getting something for nothing.
00:03:17 Hey, Mugs, a generous individual.
00:03:18 Hey, that ain't patriotic.
00:03:20 Hey, where did I sock you?
00:03:21 On the jaw.
00:03:22 On the jaw?
00:03:23 The jaw!
00:03:24 Why, what's wrong with me? I ain't for his chin.
00:03:26 What's the prescription, Doc?
00:03:28 Take Dr. Limpy's advice. Try again.
00:03:31 [Screams]
00:03:36 Bring him over here, Limpy.
00:03:38 Get going, Messias.
00:03:39 Cut it out, fellas. I've had enough of this.
00:03:41 Now, hold still, you'll get this right in your eye.
00:03:44 Shut up!
00:03:46 Gonna give you a little mud pack.
00:03:48 Trouble is, there's no more competition around here. It's getting just like Park Avenue.
00:03:52 Maybe you'd like reform school better.
00:03:54 Hi. Did you say something about my form?
00:03:57 Never mind that, Mugs McGinnis. Come on inside. I want to talk to you.
00:04:00 Talk to Limpy. He's my manager.
00:04:02 Not today. I'm starting tomorrow.
00:04:03 None of your lips. This concerns you, too.
00:04:05 All of you. Come on.
00:04:07 Say, Mugs, pick up on these grounds hands and give me that nickel.
00:04:10 Take it out of the collection after the sermon.
00:04:13 Hold your sermon a minute, will you, copper? I'm thirsty.
00:04:24 Hey, Clancy. Clancy, where are you?
00:04:27 Did you call me, Mugsy?
00:04:29 That was the general idea.
00:04:31 Say, Clancy, you got any 1913 Liberty head nickels?
00:04:34 I'll see.
00:04:36 1910.
00:04:40 1916.
00:04:42 Hey, that'll do. That's a beautiful one.
00:04:44 You got any ice this morning?
00:04:46 Sure, sure.
00:04:48 How much?
00:04:51 Nickel.
00:04:52 Keep the change.
00:04:54 Big shot, aren't you, Mugs?
00:05:00 I'm doing all right.
00:05:01 Pretty handy with your dukes, too.
00:05:03 You'll find any cots, Mugs. I think they got the law on their side.
00:05:06 Sure, sure. That's right.
00:05:08 Personally, they don't come any better than me.
00:05:10 Remember, the juvenile authorities gave you one more chance.
00:05:13 I don't need no reminding.
00:05:14 Why don't you go up to the police gym and do your fighting?
00:05:16 Don't do it. That place is full of shower beds.
00:05:18 He wants me to join the copper sewing circle. Is that a laugh?
00:05:21 Hey, you'll get poisoned ivory.
00:05:23 Ain't it bad enough you got Danny Breslin to go up there?
00:05:25 You and Danny were pals once.
00:05:28 We're still pals. We just don't see things eye to eye.
00:05:31 What do you expect? He's got a school teacher for his sister.
00:05:33 Now he wants to become President of the United States.
00:05:35 I don't know. Roswell's doing all right without Danny.
00:05:38 If Danny runs for President, I'll vote for him.
00:05:40 But I'm sticking to my trade, see?
00:05:42 Freddie Flynn wasn't such a bad boxer.
00:05:44 Yeah?
00:05:45 He could have made the big time. Only he didn't follow the rules.
00:05:47 All right, count that a point. So he's in the big house.
00:05:49 Yes, until 9 o'clock tonight.
00:05:52 Flynn dies tonight. Governor denies Flynn a reprime.
00:05:57 Slayer of fight, manager to die in chair.
00:05:59 Execution set for 9 bells.
00:06:01 Hello, Tom. You shouldn't put bad thoughts in kids' heads.
00:06:04 They won't sleep good at night.
00:06:05 Slats, that chair up the river will fit anybody.
00:06:08 Boy, Dick Tracy said them very words.
00:06:10 Boy, I sure like to see Dick Tracy and Superman in a good fight.
00:06:13 Ah, shut up, you stupid lug.
00:06:15 Here. Let me recommend the right kind of reading.
00:06:18 Slats, Mars and Beets fight fix and charge.
00:06:21 Boxing commissioner renews promoter's license.
00:06:23 Hey, that's a nice piece of work.
00:06:25 Hey, you gotta be smart. Freddy Flynn went to the fourth grade.
00:06:29 Me? I just went to the third.
00:06:32 Hey, what's eating you?
00:06:38 I don't get it.
00:06:39 What, you mean about Slats' joke?
00:06:41 You see, Freddy, he only went to the fourth grade.
00:06:42 No, no, I mean a flat foot.
00:06:43 What about him?
00:06:44 Why is he so interested in a crook like Freddy Flynn?
00:06:47 Maybe it's a maternal instinct.
00:06:49 Like me, huh? Just like the rock I'm gonna sleep.
00:06:52 You're getting so good, you even got your shadow scared.
00:06:55 [footsteps]
00:07:00 Hiya, Danny.
00:07:02 Hiya. How you doing, Mug?
00:07:04 Wow, what a nifty boat. Is it yours?
00:07:07 Sure. Maybe I'll even let you drive it sometime.
00:07:10 Gee, I'd like that.
00:07:11 Okay, it's a promise.
00:07:14 Look, uh, Danny, it's none of my business, but I think you ought to know something.
00:07:20 Know what?
00:07:21 Well, I just heard Mugs McGinnis talking about your sister.
00:07:25 Oh, that's nothing. He never did get along with Mary.
00:07:28 Yeah? But if I had a sister, and Mugs said what he did about her, well...
00:07:33 Well, what did he say?
00:07:34 Maybe I'm talking out of turn.
00:07:36 No, come on, spill it.
00:07:38 It was about your sister and the copper.
00:07:40 What about them?
00:07:42 Can't you draw your own conclusions?
00:07:45 [footsteps]
00:07:55 Hey, ya boys, nothing to it. I'm a genius, that's all. Pay off, slaps.
00:07:59 Well, if it ain't the president himself.
00:08:02 Hiya, Prez. How about me for treasurer?
00:08:04 I didn't come here for any wisecracking, Mugs.
00:08:06 Well, if it's money you want, I ain't got none.
00:08:08 I don't like the way you've been talking about my sister.
00:08:10 Hey, what gives?
00:08:11 You know what gives. And you know I don't like that kind of stuff.
00:08:14 Hey, you're unloading a parking zone.
00:08:16 I said I didn't like it.
00:08:18 Hey, Clancy. What is this, a pool room or the DA's office?
00:08:22 I never knew you was a double-crosser until now.
00:08:26 [door slams]
00:08:28 [footsteps]
00:08:33 Hello, police station? Well, there's a fight going on over in Clancy's pool hall.
00:08:37 Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
00:08:40 [footsteps]
00:08:49 You know, if we could get him to rest between rounds, we could charge admission.
00:08:52 Mugs didn't say anything about Danny's sister.
00:08:55 [arguing]
00:08:59 [arguing]
00:09:03 [arguing]
00:09:07 [arguing]
00:09:13 Hey, Danny, break it up! The cops! Come on!
00:09:15 [arguing]
00:09:21 [arguing]
00:09:24 [footsteps]
00:09:28 [footsteps]
00:09:32 [footsteps]
00:09:38 [footsteps]
00:09:44 [footsteps]
00:09:48 So you wouldn't take my advice, Mugs McGinnis?
00:09:51 Believe it or not, officer, I'm the victim of a young lady, an apple, and a snake.
00:09:56 [footsteps]
00:09:58 Pardon me. Two snakes, with but a single thought.
00:10:01 Come on, Mugs.
00:10:03 [footsteps]
00:10:08 Is that you, Danny?
00:10:10 Yeah, it's me.
00:10:12 [footsteps]
00:10:17 Hurry and change, dear. We're having dinner with Tom and Mrs. Brady.
00:10:21 Why, Danny Breslin, where in the world have you been?
00:10:25 At the gym.
00:10:27 You should have taken a shower before you left.
00:10:29 If I take any more showers, I'll need a new skin.
00:10:32 You let nature worry about your skin. You take care of the fellow who's in it.
00:10:36 Now go wash up.
00:10:38 [footsteps]
00:10:40 Mary?
00:10:42 Yes, Danny?
00:10:44 You and Tom, you're going to be married, aren't you?
00:10:49 Why, Danny, you're not worried I might be an old maid.
00:10:54 No, it ain't that.
00:10:55 Is it?
00:10:57 Well, Tom, he's a swell fellow, isn't he?
00:11:01 He certainly is. They don't come any better.
00:11:05 That's what I thought.
00:11:07 Gee, Mary, you're the best sister in the world, I'll bet.
00:11:10 Oh, flatterer. Now go on, wash up.
00:11:13 Okay.
00:11:15 So you don't know who the other kid was, huh?
00:11:17 Nope.
00:11:18 What did he look like?
00:11:19 You know me, Tom. I'm not good at describing.
00:11:21 Yeah, kind of wearing on the mind.
00:11:23 Yeah, no, she speak English.
00:11:25 [footsteps]
00:11:28 You wouldn't know anything either, would you, Monk?
00:11:30 Who, me?
00:11:32 [footsteps]
00:11:35 Funny thing. Somebody phoned the desk about that fight.
00:11:38 Looks as though they wanted to get mugs in hot water.
00:11:40 Look, I don't know nothing, see? I wasn't even here.
00:11:44 Okay, don't get high blood pressure.
00:11:47 [footsteps]
00:11:50 [footsteps]
00:12:00 But Tom, I don't see why you should worry about mugs.
00:12:03 Reform School is where he belongs.
00:12:05 Well, that boy never had a home.
00:12:07 No folks would tell him the difference between right and wrong.
00:12:10 Poor lad.
00:12:11 The saints be praised that Danny here has had you to guide him, Mary.
00:12:15 Oh, I suppose I am rather hard on mugs.
00:12:19 But it is constant fighting that annoys me.
00:12:22 An Irishman needs a good scrap now and then.
00:12:25 You're not such a bad scrapper yourself, Mrs. Brady.
00:12:28 Well, I'm not needing police protection, Officer Brady.
00:12:31 [laughter]
00:12:33 I wish I knew what that fight was about.
00:12:36 Maybe I could keep mugs from being sent up.
00:12:38 When did mugs ever need a reason to fight?
00:12:41 Maybe Danny could help me find that reason.
00:12:44 How about it, Danny?
00:12:46 Just because you're going to marry my sister doesn't mean you can make me do anything.
00:12:49 You're still a copper and I hate coppers.
00:12:51 I hate the police gym too and I'm never going there again.
00:12:54 Danny.
00:12:55 Now it's all right, Danny boy.
00:12:56 Sure, and Tom is mighty proud of you.
00:12:58 That's why he asked you to help him, Mary.
00:13:00 I'm not going to help any copper.
00:13:01 Danny, you may leave the table.
00:13:03 It's a pleasure.
00:13:05 [footsteps]
00:13:08 Oh, Danny.
00:13:10 There are your books you left in the pool hall.
00:13:13 [footsteps]
00:13:18 Mary, I'm sorry for what happened at dinner tonight.
00:13:21 Oh, that's all right, Tom.
00:13:22 No, it isn't all right.
00:13:24 I can't explain, but you do understand the way I feel about those tenement kids, don't you?
00:13:28 Of course I do.
00:13:32 Every one of those kids deserves a break.
00:13:34 It's just like a leak in the roof.
00:13:36 If you don't fix it, it gets worse.
00:13:38 Pretty soon, it affects the whole building.
00:13:41 And it's too late to do anything about it.
00:13:43 That's the way it was with Freddie Flynn.
00:13:46 Tom, darling, I understand.
00:13:58 Don't kill the motor.
00:13:59 I'll be right out.
00:14:26 [footsteps]
00:14:30 Home, James.
00:14:40 Yeah, this is the place.
00:14:42 Give us some service, your honor.
00:14:44 Ah, what are you giving me?
00:14:45 Lieutenants are running the army.
00:14:46 We come to see Mugs McGinnis.
00:14:48 Now, isn't that nice?
00:14:50 And did you bring flowers and candy?
00:14:52 Oh, I got a rabbit's foot.
00:14:53 I brought dynamite.
00:14:54 I got a saw.
00:14:55 I got a machine gun.
00:14:56 Oh, you think you're smart.
00:14:57 Maybe you'd like to stay here and spend a vacation.
00:14:59 Look, boys, I got a deal.
00:15:00 And I'll see you later.
00:15:01 You can't see McGinnis so beated.
00:15:03 Ah, let's go to a better hotel.
00:15:05 Yeah, right on like that bellhop at the desk.
00:15:07 Anyway, what do we want to see Mugs for?
00:15:09 We all know what he looks like.
00:15:11 I hope they put you on a parachute division.
00:15:15 Why did you and Danny fight?
00:15:17 Next time this song's singing, I'm hard of hearing.
00:15:20 This wasn't one of your usual brawls.
00:15:22 You and Danny must have had a special reason for slugging it out.
00:15:24 That makes you think so.
00:15:27 And anyway, who said Danny and me was fighting?
00:15:30 If I could convince the juvenile bureau that this wasn't just another one-two,
00:15:33 I might be able to get you off.
00:15:41 Here, take a look at that.
00:15:49 So what?
00:15:50 I'd like to see you in there.
00:15:52 Me?
00:15:53 I'd like to see you in there.
00:15:54 I'd like to see you in there.
00:15:55 I'd like to see you in there.

00:16:04 I'd like to see you in there.
00:16:05 I'd like to see you in there.
00:16:06 I'd like to see you in there.
00:16:07 I'd like to see you in there.
00:16:08 I'd like to see you in there.
00:16:09 I'd like to see you in there.
00:16:10 I'd like to see you in there.
00:16:11 I'd like to see you in there.
00:16:12 I'd like to see you in there.
00:16:13 I'd like to see you in there.
00:16:14 I'd like to see you in there.
00:16:15 I'd like to see you in there.
00:16:16 I'd like to see you in there.
00:16:17 I'd like to see you in there.
00:16:18 I'd like to see you in there.
00:16:19 I'd like to see you in there.
00:16:20 I'd like to see you in there.
00:16:21 I'd like to see you in there.
00:16:22 I'd like to see you in there.
00:16:23 I'd like to see you in there.
00:16:24 I'd like to see you in there.
00:16:25 I'd like to see you in there.
00:16:26 I'd like to see you in there.
00:16:27 I'd like to see you in there.
00:16:28 I'd like to see you in there.
00:16:29 I'd like to see you in there.
00:16:30 I'd like to see you in there.
00:16:31 I'd like to see you in there.
00:16:32 I'd like to see you in there.
00:16:33 Hiya, Danny.
00:16:34 Hiya, Monk.
00:16:35 I just dropped by to give you a little present.
00:16:36 Gee, thanks.
00:16:37 What a surprise.
00:16:38 Ah, that's all right.
00:16:39 You did okay.
00:16:40 Good seeing you, Danny.
00:16:41 So long, Monk.
00:16:42 I suit you wearing one.
00:16:43 It fits.
00:16:44 I'll be back in a minute.
00:16:45 I'll be back in a minute.

00:17:20 What are you driving at?
00:17:21 Come clean, kid.
00:17:22 Why'd he give you the money?
00:17:23 I drove him around in his new car last night.
00:17:25 Did you make any stops?
00:17:26 Yeah, once at a grocery store.
00:17:27 We was only there a minute.
00:17:28 Say, I bet you kept a motor running.
00:17:30 How did you know?
00:17:33 While putting away today's receipts,
00:17:35 Tony Capri, grocer at 637 Chesnut Street,
00:17:38 was slugged by an unidentified young bandit
00:17:41 who made off with about $70.
00:17:44 So what?
00:17:45 Well, don't be afraid, kid.
00:17:47 Slats Morrison ain't no squealer.
00:17:49 Live and let live.
00:17:50 That's me.
00:17:51 Hey, did you see Monk?
00:18:01 Yeah, he just drove away.
00:18:02 New car, new suit.
00:18:03 I bet his money's even new.
00:18:05 Hey, maybe he robbed a bank.
00:18:06 Hey, Danny, we just seen him take mugs out of the clinic
00:18:08 to take them to reform school.
00:18:09 Yeah?
00:18:10 What's eating you?
00:18:12 None of your business.
00:18:13 Hey, I bet he got brain fever.
00:18:15 That's what school does for you.
00:18:17 Economics is a science of man's activities
00:18:20 devoted to obtaining the material means
00:18:22 for the satisfaction of his wants.
00:18:25 What do you mean that?
00:18:26 He's absolutely illiterate.
00:18:28 Hmm.
00:18:29 You're pretty smart, kid.
00:18:30 What class you graduate from?
00:18:32 Oh, good God.
00:18:33 Hello, Miss Fresland.
00:18:40 Is Danny home?
00:18:42 Why, yes.
00:18:43 He wanted to see me.
00:18:44 Just a minute.
00:18:45 I'll call him.
00:18:46 Danny, someone's to see you.
00:18:51 Did you hear me, Danny?
00:18:56 I'm coming.
00:19:00 Hello, Danny.
00:19:11 Here I am.
00:19:12 What are you doing here?
00:19:13 Some of the boys said you wanted to talk to me.
00:19:15 Not here.
00:19:16 Why not?
00:19:17 Ain't we pals?
00:19:19 I'll tell you more about that later.
00:19:21 I don't mind if your sister hears.
00:19:23 Danny, is anything wrong?
00:19:25 No.
00:19:26 Monk and me here, we got something to talk about.
00:19:28 Yeah, Danny's a great one for talking secrets.
00:19:31 Now me, I ain't got no secrets.
00:19:33 Let's go.
00:19:34 Sure.
00:19:35 Your brother's crazy about my new car,
00:19:37 and boy, can he drive.
00:19:39 Got me skinned by a mile.
00:19:41 Don't be gone too long, Danny.
00:19:44 OK, sis.
00:19:45 Hey, what's the idea of talking like that in front of my sister?
00:19:54 I talked that way on purpose.
00:19:55 I know you wouldn't want her to find out about what happened last night.
00:19:58 I thought you just wanted me to drive you around.
00:20:00 I don't need that kind of a chauffeur.
00:20:02 I ought to beat your head in.
00:20:03 Look, Danny, get smart to yourself.
00:20:05 There's money, lots of money to be made in this town.
00:20:08 Come on.
00:20:09 Forget about going to college.
00:20:14 When you get out, all you'll have is a desk and a room
00:20:16 with your name on the door, Danny Breslin, lawyer.
00:20:18 Not a dime in your pocket to keep that desk off.
00:20:21 That's my business.
00:20:22 You think I'll be a cheap crook like Slats Morrison?
00:20:24 I'm going to make a couple of grand a week.
00:20:26 A couple of grand a week?
00:20:28 Yeah, and that's nothing.
00:20:29 I'm going to buy me a stable of race horses, maybe a racetrack.
00:20:33 Look, Danny, you're going to be a great driver.
00:20:36 I'm going to buy me a race track.
00:20:38 Look, Danny, you're smart.
00:20:40 We're both smart, and we can go places.
00:20:42 Now, what do you say?
00:20:43 How about it?
00:20:45 Sure, why not?
00:20:46 Maybe I can get me a car like this.
00:20:48 Sure you can.
00:20:49 You want to get behind the wheel and take a spin?
00:20:52 What are we waiting for?
00:20:53 [footsteps]
00:21:13 Hey, quit shoving.
00:21:14 I don't want to see nobody I don't have to.
00:21:16 I still got some constitutional rights left.
00:21:17 Slow, Muggs.
00:21:18 Talk fast, Tom.
00:21:19 I'm in a hurry reforming this place.
00:21:20 First of all, we're going to throw out Pickle Puss.
00:21:22 And exterminate all the cockroaches.
00:21:23 Put a radio on every room and serve meals in bed.
00:21:25 That's what I say.
00:21:26 You've got a chance to leave here, Muggs.
00:21:27 Yeah?
00:21:28 If you'll come home to live with me.
00:21:29 Live with a cop?
00:21:30 Yep.
00:21:31 Mob Brady and I both want you.
00:21:33 And besides, here's your chance to do some clean fighting.
00:21:35 Remember the golden gloves?
00:21:36 Certainly.
00:21:37 Remember the yellow motor?
00:21:38 That's history, too.
00:21:39 Where's Professor Danny?
00:21:40 Danny isn't going to fight in the golden gloves.
00:21:41 He quit training.
00:21:42 Oh, so that gives me a chance, huh?
00:21:44 You've got what it takes, Muggs.
00:21:45 Even the boys at the station are with me on that.
00:21:47 Well, he ain't with me, and that's what counts.
00:21:48 I'm staying.
00:21:49 You're an ungrateful boy.
00:21:52 Oh, Pickle Puss.
00:21:53 You and me was made for each other.
00:21:54 We could do things.
00:21:55 We could go places.
00:21:56 Well, if you want to stay here and outgrow your pants and your punch, so it's me.
00:21:59 My punch is getting better every day.
00:22:01 So long, Muggs.
00:22:02 I guess a real fight scares you.
00:22:06 Nothing scares me.
00:22:08 Except maybe Pickle Puss.
00:22:16 Oh, hello, Mary.
00:22:17 Come in.
00:22:18 I want to talk to you about something.
00:22:20 Sure, but first I've got some good news.
00:22:22 Ma and I have been talking things over, and we've decided--
00:22:24 Mary, is that you?
00:22:26 Yes, Mrs. Brady.
00:22:28 Mary, I think we're about to have a border.
00:22:31 Muggs McGinnis.
00:22:33 Muggs McGinnis?
00:22:34 Sure.
00:22:35 If Ma and I give him a home, I can get him paroled to my custody.
00:22:38 And to my cooking.
00:22:40 Are you serious?
00:22:41 Of course we are.
00:22:44 Say, by the way, what were you going to tell me?
00:22:48 I--I wanted to talk to you about Danny, but--but now it's no use.
00:22:55 Well, Mary.
00:22:58 I think we'll have to be considering Mary's feelings, son.
00:23:01 Oh, but she's got to understand, Ma.
00:23:03 This is too important.
00:23:13 So long, curly nose.
00:23:15 Hey, where's our transportation?
00:23:16 There it is.
00:23:17 Are you kidding?
00:23:18 Where's the motor?
00:23:19 You're the motor.
00:23:20 Start pedaling.
00:23:21 You can limber up for the golden gloves.
00:23:22 You want me to become anemic?
00:23:24 Go on, get your legs on those pedals before I break them off.
00:23:26 What right have I, manager, training for a fight?
00:23:28 You did, starting right now.
00:23:29 Come on, roll it out.
00:23:33 Don't go through any red lights.
00:23:35 I won't.
00:23:38 [singing]
00:23:40 Hey, why don't you sing at a bicycle built for two?
00:23:43 I'm not a member of ASCA.
00:23:45 [singing]
00:23:55 That Schwartz kid must have the jinx on me.
00:23:57 I'll never steal his bike again.
00:23:58 [laughing]
00:24:12 Here he comes, Ma.
00:24:15 Oh, the stage's been raised.
00:24:26 If that isn't just like Mugs.
00:24:29 Now don't you go spoiling that roughneck, Ma Brady.
00:24:32 I know a spoiled roughneck who grew up to be the handsomest lad in the police force.
00:24:36 Oh, go on with you.
00:24:37 [laughing]
00:24:40 [cheering]
00:24:43 Hey, Captain.
00:24:44 What's up?
00:24:45 [cheering]
00:24:47 How are you, boy?
00:24:48 How are you?
00:24:49 [cheering]
00:24:52 Right up to the front door, boy.
00:24:54 Thanks, and the place is all yours.
00:24:56 Step down, may I?
00:24:57 Yes, sir.
00:25:03 Friends, Romans, and countrymen.
00:25:05 Countrymen?
00:25:06 You know we're only city kids.
00:25:07 Lend me your ears and five bucks.
00:25:11 It ain't what you know, it's who you know.
00:25:13 And now that I got a pull with the coppers, I'm going to fix all your tickets for you.
00:25:16 It won't cost you a penny, not one dime.
00:25:18 And when I get through doing that, I'm gold.
00:25:21 Well, uh, guess I'm caught in a trap, huh?
00:25:23 Yeah.
00:25:24 Welcome to Camp Brady.
00:25:25 See you later, folks.
00:25:26 I'll take a wooden nickel.
00:25:28 Bring on your golden gloves.
00:25:29 Not so fast.
00:25:30 You've got plenty of work to do.
00:25:31 Hey, what is this, a frame-up?
00:25:32 He's not made cop.
00:25:33 I've been his manager since he swiped his first pair of boxing gloves.
00:25:36 Sure, I'm a veteran.
00:25:38 Maybe, but you've got to qualify for the preliminaries, and that means training.
00:25:42 Oh, me?
00:25:43 Hey, gee, that mean mug's beginning his training.
00:25:44 Is that a laugh?
00:25:45 And you can start doing that right now.
00:25:48 Vitamins.
00:25:49 And in case you don't know it, I am your assistant manager.
00:25:52 Why, you're the greatest manager I ever saw.
00:25:55 Hey, who's doing the training around here?
00:25:57 Why, the manager's got to have his calories.
00:25:59 Oh, sure, Mugs, there's plenty more.
00:26:02 Sit down, lad.
00:26:04 I'll see you later, Mug.
00:26:05 Take it easy today, Mugs.
00:26:07 Beginning tomorrow, you're working off Ma's pie.
00:26:11 Hey, you better make that pie a la mode with a couple of hunks of cheese.
00:26:16 Mugs McGinnis, I never seen a champ yet that looked good with a cigar in his face.
00:26:22 Oh, Ma.
00:26:24 Now, if you'll follow me, I'll show you to your room.
00:26:27 Mugs, I'm sorry.
00:26:39 I'm sorry, Mugs.
00:26:41 [Mugs walks out of the room.]
00:27:01 Okay, pal.
00:27:02 [Mugs walks out of the room.]
00:27:09 How's he doing?
00:27:10 He's got what it takes.
00:27:11 [Mugs walks out of the room.]
00:27:14 The next champ in the world.
00:27:15 Hey, what's your social security number?
00:27:17 X.
00:27:19 You better work to get a social security number.
00:27:21 You're not kidding.
00:27:22 [Mugs walks out of the room.]
00:27:25 Oh, listen, I'm going to let you work at Mugs' corner tonight.
00:27:27 Do you know anything about cuts or bruises?
00:27:29 No.
00:27:30 Well, I want to tell you something.
00:27:31 If Mugs gets hit in the eye and he gets a cut, I want to show you what we're going to do.
00:27:34 Take the iodine, see?
00:27:35 We do that.
00:27:38 But that's no good.
00:27:39 See, because now the guy's got a target.
00:27:41 So I'll tell you what we do to fool him.
00:27:43 We do this.
00:27:44 Get the idea?
00:27:45 Okay.
00:27:47 Now, suppose he gets hit in the mouth.
00:27:50 That's no good to put iodine on because he'll be swollen.
00:27:52 So what do we do?
00:27:53 Take tape.
00:27:56 Put it around the guy's mouth like that.
00:27:58 [Mugs makes a noise.]
00:28:00 What'd you say?
00:28:01 Take it easy.
00:28:03 Now, do you know anything about cauliflower ears?
00:28:05 I'll show you what we do with a cauliflower ear.
00:28:07 Take a piece of steak, see?
00:28:10 Slam it on his ear like that.
00:28:12 Get the thing.
00:28:13 Now, there's going to be a lot of blood flying around out there tonight.
00:28:15 Are you afraid of blood?
00:28:16 Does blood make you sick?
00:28:18 Okay, you'll be okay down that ring.
00:28:20 Don't forget it now, kid.
00:28:21 You're going to be okay in that ring.
00:28:23 Don't be afraid of no blood.
00:28:24 [Mugs makes a noise.]
00:28:25 What's the matter with you?
00:28:26 My finger.
00:28:27 It's bleeding.
00:28:28 Real blood?
00:28:29 Let me see.
00:28:30 Oh, blood.
00:28:32 [Music]
00:29:01 [Mugs makes a noise.]
00:29:08 [Man on radio]
00:29:12 That's us.
00:29:16 Oh, let go.
00:29:17 I didn't do nothing.
00:29:18 What are you, playing cops and robbers?
00:29:19 Hey, Tom, tell him to lay off, will you?
00:29:24 Hey, you don't think I'd...
00:29:29 You know, just back to reform school, huh?
00:29:32 Go ahead, say it.
00:29:33 Say it.
00:29:34 I don't scare so easy.
00:29:35 That's what I thought.
00:29:36 Listen to this.
00:29:37 Whereas Mugs McGinnis has shown a continued disposition to use his fists,
00:29:42 and whereas the said disposition has resulted in sundry misfortunes to various opponents of said fists,
00:29:48 and whereas the said Mugs McGinnis has used said fists fairly with courage and sportsmanship,
00:29:54 he had resolved that it is the prayer of the executive committee of the Police Athletic Club to win,
00:30:00 that Mugs do them the honor of wearing their colors and permitting their sponsorship in the Golden Gloves Tournament.
00:30:07 Furthermore, Mugs McGinnis, here is your discharge from parole.
00:30:11 Well, Mugs, what do you say?
00:30:14 Well, I, uh, I, uh, once in my life, fellas, ain't got nothing to say.
00:30:22 [Laughter]
00:30:38 I got a full house.
00:30:50 Well, if it ain't the Robo-Boy.
00:30:52 Guess that means we don't want any toadstools today.
00:30:54 Oh, now, wait a minute, fellas.
00:30:56 I got an angle on the amateurs.
00:30:57 You mean the Golden Gloves?
00:30:59 Those fights are on a level.
00:31:01 Get out.
00:31:02 Scram.
00:31:03 This is about Mugs McGinnis and Johnny Ryan.
00:31:05 It's a toss-up between those two.
00:31:07 We don't make bets for fun.
00:31:09 What's it worth to you if I deliver the winner?
00:31:15 You mean you can reach one of those boys?
00:31:17 Now you're catching on.
00:31:19 Who's the boy?
00:31:20 How can you do it?
00:31:21 That's my business.
00:31:23 Hey, Nick, give Mr. Morrison a seat.
00:31:29 Okay, slats, if that fight is fixed, I want exclusive.
00:31:32 Sure, you know me.
00:31:33 Yeah, that's why I'm warning you beforehand.
00:31:35 How soon can you tip us off?
00:31:37 Oh, I need a little cash to swing it.
00:31:40 I thought there'd be a catch in it.
00:31:42 Okay, how much?
00:31:44 About two grand.
00:31:56 There you are.
00:31:58 Remember, slats, from now on the finger's on you and no tricks.
00:32:02 Don't worry.
00:32:04 It's in the bag.
00:32:05 Just be sure you're not in that bag floating down the East River.
00:32:17 Hey, fellas, come here and get a load of this.
00:32:19 Come here.
00:32:20 Hiya, hip cat.
00:32:21 Solid, old man.
00:32:22 Big again, the public hero number one, that's me.
00:32:24 Oh, so you joined the police force, did you?
00:32:26 Where'd you lead the parade?
00:32:27 I never thought a day would come.
00:32:28 Don't look kosher to me.
00:32:30 A gum shoe.
00:32:31 Can't get up in the world these days, legitimate.
00:32:33 Anyhow, who said I was a gum shoe?
00:32:36 Well, you might as well be.
00:32:39 Yeah.
00:32:40 Yeah, maybe you're right.
00:32:44 Keep the change.
00:32:45 All right.
00:32:47 Let's go, Monk.
00:32:50 Well, that was a quick rush.
00:32:55 What'd I ever do to him?
00:32:57 You didn't do nothing, but the Monk's doing plenty.
00:33:00 I got it.
00:33:01 What?
00:33:02 The sister gag.
00:33:03 What sister gag?
00:33:04 You remember Danny accusing me of talking about his sister?
00:33:06 Well, Monk put him up to that, so if we could get in a fight and me be sent up.
00:33:11 Play that low down--
00:33:13 Hello, Monks.
00:33:14 Hiya, fellas.
00:33:15 Hiya.
00:33:17 So the cop was a sponsor in you.
00:33:19 What's it to you?
00:33:20 A lot.
00:33:21 What's the angle?
00:33:23 This is private.
00:33:24 See you later, fellas.
00:33:25 Don't even walk.
00:33:26 Now, this don't mean a thing to me.
00:33:27 I'm doing it for a friend.
00:33:28 But if I was you, well, a grand don't grow on trees.
00:33:32 A grand?
00:33:33 Yeah, maybe more.
00:33:34 What do I have to do?
00:33:35 It's easy.
00:33:42 Look here.
00:33:43 What's this fight with Johnny Ryan going to do for you?
00:33:45 Nothing.
00:33:46 Says you.
00:33:47 You don't have to win.
00:33:48 You can make money by losing that fight.
00:33:50 Short a fight, so a bunch of racketeers can clean up, huh?
00:33:52 Now, that's quick thinking.
00:33:53 Sure, it's quick thinking.
00:33:55 Well, listen, Slats Morrison, I'm winning this fight, and I'm winning it fair, see?
00:33:58 And you can tell those pals of yours not to try to muscle in on the amateurs.
00:34:02 Because it ain't healthy.
00:34:05 Sure.
00:34:06 Sure, Marge.
00:34:11 Hey, you've been doing all right, kid.
00:34:13 Well, it's all in a day's work.
00:34:15 I noticed that Slats Morrison seemed to be full of ideas.
00:34:18 Was he thinking of trying to coin some money on the fight?
00:34:21 I'm thinking of winning it.
00:34:23 That's all I know.
00:34:24 That a boy.
00:34:25 Come on.
00:34:26 I'll buy you a short soda.
00:34:27 What do we have for a chaser?
00:34:33 Hey, Danny.
00:34:34 Hey, Danny.
00:34:35 What do you want?
00:34:36 Oh, I'd just like to have a little chat with you.
00:34:38 Well, the feeling ain't mutual.
00:34:39 Don't use them big words.
00:34:40 I want to be your pal.
00:34:41 That's simple enough.
00:34:43 I'll make it even more simple for you.
00:34:45 This house is getting too small for the two of us to live in.
00:34:50 Oh, that crack about your sister.
00:34:52 Leave my sister out of it.
00:34:53 What's the matter with you, Danny?
00:34:54 We used to be pals just like brothers.
00:34:56 We used to do things together.
00:34:57 Remember the time we chased Butch the Gimp up to Lansing Street with a pineapple and he thought it was loaded?
00:35:01 Yeah.
00:35:02 Boy, them was the days.
00:35:04 Sure.
00:35:06 I didn't know any better then.
00:35:08 There you go again.
00:35:09 Can't you forget it?
00:35:10 Not me.
00:35:11 You forget it.
00:35:14 You're just a sore head, that's all.
00:35:16 You can't see any further than Monk's nose.
00:35:18 You want to make something out of it?
00:35:23 Golden gloves, champ.
00:35:47 Oh, hello, Mary.
00:35:48 Hello, Mrs. Brady.
00:35:49 What a day I've had shopping around for a new dress.
00:35:51 Will you come in and see it?
00:35:52 I'd be glad to.
00:35:55 It's that excited I am about the fight.
00:36:01 Sure you'll be sitting with us at the ringside, won't you, Mary?
00:36:03 No.
00:36:04 I'm not going.
00:36:06 Not going?
00:36:08 Oh, sure you'll be after a change in your mind.
00:36:11 It used to be a big night for Tom.
00:36:12 He wants to prove to himself that he was right about Mugs.
00:36:16 I'm glad Tom is so happy about it.
00:36:19 Kids from six to 60 like a fair fight in a picture like that.
00:36:22 Fights, fights, fights.
00:36:24 Oh, Ma, what happened to Tom and me?
00:36:27 There, there now, Mary.
00:36:29 But we're drifting apart.
00:36:31 I've known it ever since Mugs McGinnis came here.
00:36:33 Danny has changed.
00:36:34 Everything's changed.
00:36:36 Oh, nothing's changed, Mary dear.
00:36:38 Tom still loves you.
00:36:39 He has a strange way of showing it.
00:36:41 I haven't seen him for days.
00:36:43 Oh, well, after the fight's over, you'll see--
00:36:45 Don't fight.
00:36:46 Well, I'm not waiting.
00:36:48 Danny and I are moving as far away from here as we possibly can.
00:36:51 Far away from everything.

00:37:45 [music playing]
00:37:48 And where do you think you'd be going, Mr. McGinnis?
00:37:50 Well, I--
00:37:52 I'd just leave it.
00:37:53 My eyes don't deceive me in that, but why?
00:37:57 Well, I--
00:37:58 I just got to go, that's all.
00:38:00 Mm-hmm.
00:38:01 Not on parole, am I?
00:38:03 Have you been in your room all this while?
00:38:05 Yeah.
00:38:06 Yeah, I've been sleeping.
00:38:08 Well, then maybe you're walking in your sleep now.
00:38:10 Yeah, maybe.
00:38:12 But I'm still leaving.
00:38:14 You said that.
00:38:15 But why so sudden?
00:38:17 Well--
00:38:19 See, I've been thinking with some big shots in a fight racket.
00:38:22 Starting Monday, I'm going to be on Easy Street.
00:38:25 Oh, so a surprise fighter you're going to be.
00:38:28 Yeah.
00:38:29 Yeah, that's a general idea.
00:38:31 Just tell Tom I'll see him after the fight, huh?
00:38:34 Goodbye, Muggs.
00:38:35 [music playing]
00:38:38 [music playing]
00:38:41 [music playing]
00:38:43 Oh, Ma.
00:38:45 Good luck to you, lad.
00:38:46 [music playing]
00:38:49 Want to see me, Lieutenant?
00:38:53 Yes, Tom.
00:38:55 Looks like we sponsored the wrong boy for that fight Monday.
00:38:58 What do you mean?
00:38:59 I just got word that the rackets are trying
00:39:01 to horn in on the Golden Gloves.
00:39:03 And Muggs McGinnis is going to throw the fight.
00:39:06 I don't believe that.
00:39:07 I don't want to believe it.
00:39:09 That's why I called you.
00:39:10 I know what this means to you, Tom.
00:39:13 You tell Muggs McGinnis he better make a fight of it
00:39:15 Monday or we'll know what to do to him.
00:39:17 Yes, sir.
00:39:18 And one thing more.
00:39:20 Keep your eye out for Monk Martin.
00:39:23 I'm looking forward to seeing him here one of these days.
00:39:26 I hope that don't go for Danny Breslin as well.
00:39:29 That's all.
00:39:30 Yes, sir.
00:39:31 There's a copper who carries his heart on his badge.
00:39:40 [car horn honking]
00:39:43 [footsteps]
00:39:45 Oh, Danny, I want to talk to you a minute.
00:39:55 About what?
00:39:56 I want to warn you about Monk Martin.
00:39:58 Yeah?
00:39:59 We're watching him.
00:40:00 If you're caught with him when he's picked up,
00:40:02 you're in a jam.
00:40:03 You're just trying to frame him so you can boss me around.
00:40:05 Well, you're not going to boss me, copper.
00:40:07 Wait a minute, Danny.
00:40:08 I don't want anything like that to happen to you.
00:40:10 Besides, think of Mary.
00:40:12 In case you don't know it, copper, you and Mary are through.
00:40:15 Danny, is anything wrong?
00:40:17 Oh, this copper's picking on me.
00:40:19 Mary, what's all this about?
00:40:24 You heard what Danny said.
00:40:26 I thought you understood.
00:40:28 I do understand.
00:40:29 And that's just why Danny and I are going away.
00:40:38 Hello, son.
00:40:40 Hello, Mom.
00:40:41 Tom, I've been eavesdropping.
00:40:45 Everything seems to be going haywire.
00:40:47 Well, don't worry, son.
00:40:49 When a man fights for an ideal, the devil sticks him with his pitchfork.
00:40:52 Is Muggs home?
00:40:54 Well, he's moved out.
00:40:56 Moved out?
00:40:57 Said something about dickering with a big-time Charlie in the fight racket.
00:41:01 Then it's true.
00:41:03 What is, Tom?
00:41:04 The lieutenant got word that Muggs was going to throw the fight.
00:41:06 I don't believe it.
00:41:08 That's what I said.
00:41:09 But it all adds up.
00:41:11 That big shot in the fight racket, Muggs leaving here like this.
00:41:15 I'm surprised at you, Tom Brady.
00:41:17 Why, that boy didn't want to be the cause of you and Mary breaking up.
00:41:20 You see, it all happened like this, Tom.
00:41:23 Say, Glancy, I hear Muggs is parking around here someplace.
00:41:29 Yeah, temporary-like.
00:41:30 He's using the back room till he can't get out.
00:41:32 Oh.
00:41:34 Now, what do you want?
00:41:42 I just heard about you walking out on the carpet.
00:41:44 So what?
00:41:45 So I'm figuring you might need some money.
00:41:47 Didn't you hear? They just made me president of the First National Bank.
00:41:49 With this, it might be even the Federal Reserve.
00:41:52 Scram.
00:41:54 Okay, okay. Fine way to treat a pal.
00:41:56 I told you to move.
00:41:59 Maybe you wish you'd listened to me.
00:42:02 Did I tell you once to get out of here?
00:42:04 All right. Have it your way.
00:42:06 Hey, Slats, where's your clean collars?
00:42:14 Cave dance in the old one, too.
00:42:17 First with your right, then with your left.
00:42:19 First with your left, then with your right.
00:42:21 Who's manager here?
00:42:22 All right.
00:42:23 Get busy, you two.
00:42:24 I'll be back in a minute.
00:42:25 Get out of here. Try it for a fight.
00:42:27 Hey, I'm Madison Square Garden.
00:42:31 Hey, where'd you get all that junk?
00:42:32 From a warehouse on Spring Street.
00:42:33 Oh, you found it, huh?
00:42:34 Yeah, only they don't know it.
00:42:35 Pee-wee's taking it back after the fight.
00:42:37 I gave that junk to Scrooge.
00:42:39 Yeah, but I'm going to wait for a blackout.
00:42:41 What a nifty.
00:42:44 Nothing but the best. Try it on.
00:42:46 We don't want to get anything too loud.
00:42:48 Boy, fits like a glove.
00:42:50 What's so funny?
00:42:51 I'm not going to get anything too loud.
00:42:53 Boy, fits like a glove.
00:42:55 What size I tell you to get?
00:42:56 Oh, I thought a big one would fit him better when he gets to be heavyweight champ.
00:42:59 I got an idea. We'll put the belt around twice.
00:43:01 Say, look here. Here's something. This is for the road.
00:43:03 That ain't my initial.
00:43:04 I know it. That H is for Harlem.
00:43:06 Thank you.
00:43:07 We're pinched.
00:43:08 Look, I got a deal on. I'm going to see you later.
00:43:11 Look, we just wanted to make Muggs feel like a champ.
00:43:13 I'd say you did a good job.
00:43:15 Don't we ain't pinched?
00:43:16 Oh, not unless you go out and hold up somebody.
00:43:20 Hey, Muggs.
00:43:21 I want to talk to you about going back home with me.
00:43:24 Nothing doing. I got other plans.
00:43:26 Yeah, so I heard.
00:43:27 But you didn't fool Ma.
00:43:28 It was on account of Mary and me, wasn't it?
00:43:30 Yeah, Betty. What do I care if you're in love with some girl?
00:43:33 You know, the fellas that gave you this think you're letting them down.
00:43:36 So that's what they think, huh?
00:43:38 Well, let them think it. Maybe it's true, see?
00:43:41 All I can say is, you'd better fight your head off Monday night
00:43:45 to prove you're on the level.
00:43:47 (door opens)
00:43:48 Here he comes.
00:43:58 Hello, Dutch.
00:44:05 The boss thinks you're stolen.
00:44:06 But why? Everything's all fixed.
00:44:08 Don't tell me. Save it for the boss.
00:44:10 (footsteps)
00:44:11 I'm tired of waiting, Slats.
00:44:18 Who's it gonna be, McGinnis or Ryan?
00:44:20 Muggs McGinnis.
00:44:22 That's fine.
00:44:25 But be sure you bet on that name yourself.
00:44:28 You know what I mean?
00:44:29 No tricks.
00:44:30 I wouldn't double-cross you, Dorgan.
00:44:32 I paid off McGinnis just a while ago.
00:44:34 Okay, that's all.
00:44:38 (door opens)
00:44:39 Dutch, go see McGinnis and find out if Slats is lying.
00:44:46 Sure thing.
00:44:47 (footsteps)
00:44:53 Hey!
00:44:56 I'm supposed to be a price fighter, not a marathon runner.
00:44:58 Hey, Pee-wee, will you give him a workout?
00:45:00 I'm a peace-loving citizen. You get in there.
00:45:02 I'm the manager. The brains are the outfit.
00:45:04 Go ahead.
00:45:05 Get in there.
00:45:06 (footsteps)
00:45:08 For a bite worth a thousand bucks,
00:45:22 you're working pretty hard, Mr. McGinnis.
00:45:24 Who are you?
00:45:25 Dorgan's outfit. You know.
00:45:27 Dorgan's outfit, you know? Sounds like Greek to me.
00:45:29 Say, what do you mean?
00:45:31 Look, this is a private training camp.
00:45:33 But if you're a newspaper man, you can quote Olympia saying,
00:45:35 "My boy will be next champion of the world."
00:45:37 Shut up. Just a second.
00:45:38 What's this about a thousand bucks?
00:45:40 You know what? Slats gave it.
00:45:42 Hot pork chops, fellas! Look here!
00:45:44 One, two, three oz!
00:45:46 Don't forget I get two oz for the manager's share.
00:45:48 Where'd you get that?
00:45:49 On the table, in the box, under the ribbon.
00:45:51 Just like that.
00:45:52 Like it's been there for a thousand years.
00:45:54 Just waiting for little Admiral Scrooge to come along and discover it.
00:45:57 Oh, so you was going to Welsh.
00:45:59 That's a lie. I wasn't going to Welsh on nothing.
00:46:01 How was I to know you was with Dorgan and not with the Athletic Association?
00:46:03 Say, I think you're all right, kid.
00:46:05 For that kind of dough, I'd sleep my life away in a ring.
00:46:07 Say, Dorgan's going to like that.
00:46:09 I'll put in a good word for you.
00:46:11 Thanks, pal.
00:46:12 So long, fellas.
00:46:13 Take it easy.
00:46:15 Can you imagine that?
00:46:18 It was framed. You know who did it?
00:46:20 That dirty rat Slats, that's who.
00:46:22 What are you going to do about it?
00:46:23 What am I going to do? I'm going to do plenty.
00:46:25 Take a letter.
00:46:26 A letter?
00:46:27 A letter, a letter. Take it.
00:46:28 Get me some paper. Go ahead.
00:46:30 Here.
00:46:31 You start the letter off with "Dear Ma Brady."
00:46:35 No, no, that's no good. That ain't in it.
00:46:38 "Dear Ma."
00:46:40 "Dear..." Wait, hold a second.
00:46:42 "Dearest Mother."
00:46:44 "In close, please find one thousand bucks."
00:46:50 I can't write a thousand bucks.
00:46:51 It makes me nervous. My hand trembles.
00:46:53 Right, right.
00:46:55 Bye.
00:46:57 Remember, pal, the water's deep, so you'd better keep swimming.
00:47:12 "Dear Ma Brady, I love you."
00:47:14 Morning, Tom.
00:47:38 Hi, good morning, George.
00:47:39 Big day for you, isn't it?
00:47:40 Yeah, and do I feel lucky?
00:47:41 Muggs will take Ryan in two rounds.
00:47:43 From what I hear, he's going to lay down.
00:47:45 Oh, don't you believe it.
00:47:46 I know those East Side kids.
00:47:48 I know them like a...
00:47:50 Hey, George, block that car, quick!
00:47:59 Hey, hey! Wait a minute!
00:48:07 (footsteps)
00:48:10 (footsteps)
00:48:12 (panting)
00:48:29 (footsteps)
00:48:31 Tom, look out!
00:48:45 (gunshot)
00:48:46 (gunshot)
00:48:48 (gunshot)
00:48:55 (footsteps)
00:48:57 Doctor, is he going to be all right?
00:49:17 Now don't worry.
00:49:18 We're going to do everything we can for him.
00:49:21 What are his chances, Doctor?
00:49:24 It's not a bad wound, but he's lost a good deal of blood.
00:49:27 We need a transfusion before we operate.
00:49:29 How about using me for it?
00:49:31 Very well.
00:49:32 We'll try it.
00:49:33 Come with me.
00:49:34 Not a bad specimen, eh, Doc?
00:49:42 I'd say not.
00:49:43 Next, please.
00:49:44 Hey, Muggs, meet Johnny Ryan.
00:49:47 Hiya, Ryan.
00:49:48 Yeah, hello.
00:49:49 Hey, is he kidding?
00:49:51 Where does he get off giving me that pocket of your wrist?
00:49:53 Word gets around, Muggs.
00:49:55 Word gets around?
00:49:56 I'll take that guy right now, I could...
00:49:58 Keep that for the ring if you're so serious.
00:50:01 So he even got you believing it, huh?
00:50:03 Let's not talk about it.
00:50:05 Hey, Muggs.
00:50:07 Danny's been shot. They say he's dying.
00:50:09 Danny's been shot? Where is he?
00:50:11 He's at the emergency hospital.
00:50:13 I tried to see him, but they wouldn't let me.
00:50:15 We'll see him.
00:50:16 Hey, Muggs, don't forget.
00:50:20 We got a date in just three hours.
00:50:23 In three hours and one minute, you won't know nothing about it.
00:50:25 I'm sorry, but your blood's not the type.
00:50:31 But don't worry, we'll find it.
00:50:33 Emergency hospital.
00:50:38 One moment, please.
00:50:40 I'll bet you she won't let us see him.
00:50:41 I even told her it was Robert Taylor.
00:50:43 Didn't I tell you not to...
00:50:45 Cool off, sis, or you're talking to Clark Gable.
00:50:47 Oh, yeah?
00:50:48 Well, that makes me an ice cube.
00:50:50 Emergency hospital.
00:50:52 Hey.
00:50:54 Keep up business.
00:50:56 I'm sorry.
00:50:57 Say, Doc, where's Danny Freslin's room?
00:51:01 He's in there, but he can't see anyone.
00:51:03 But he's my pal. We grew up together.
00:51:05 I'm sorry, son, but he can't have any visitors.
00:51:07 Dr. Sterling, we've just located a donor with the correct blood type.
00:51:11 But it'll take at least two hours to bring him here.
00:51:13 I'm afraid that's too long, and we can't operate without a transfusion.
00:51:17 You mean Danny needs blood?
00:51:19 That's right.
00:51:20 Well, why waste time? I'm full of blood.
00:51:22 Very well. We'll try it.
00:51:25 Don't worry, Mary, now.
00:51:32 They've got a blood donor, so we'll perform the transfusion right away.
00:51:37 Oh, thank you.
00:51:38 The Lord be praised.
00:51:40 If you need any more blood, just say the word. I could spare a gallon.
00:51:44 Oh, we've got plenty, and good blood, too.
00:51:46 Now Danny will get well, huh?
00:51:48 He's got an even chance.
00:51:49 Now you go home and have a long rest,
00:51:51 and don't do any violent exercise for a couple of days.
00:51:54 Mugs McGinnis, one at the Golden Gloves.
00:51:58 Mugs McGinnis, one at the Golden Gloves.
00:52:00 Mugs McGinnis, one at the Golden Gloves.
00:52:02 Hey, Mugs, you've got ten minutes.
00:52:03 Rude, ain't you?
00:52:04 Danny's gonna be all right.
00:52:05 I know. I just heard some noise.
00:52:06 Come on, you've got to fight.
00:52:07 Well, let's go.
00:52:08 Someday I'll come back and sing a love song over this thing to you.
00:52:10 Goodbye, Martha.
00:52:12 [crowd cheering]
00:52:14 I hear McGinnis hasn't shown up yet.
00:52:22 Well, it doesn't surprise me.
00:52:25 Probably get cold feet.
00:52:26 Just to make sure, I sent Dutch up to see the kid.
00:52:31 And the looks of dogging on this mob.
00:52:34 This is not only amateur night, it's also bank night.
00:52:40 You're okay, slats.
00:52:41 Introduce me to the kid after the fight.
00:52:43 Sure.
00:52:44 It's about time you got here.
00:52:49 Some of the boys were doubting if you'd come.
00:52:51 Oh, yeah, well, if it let them through with the boy scene,
00:52:53 I'm gonna tell them what to do with that piece of ribbon, too.
00:52:55 Look, Mugs, look what I got.
00:52:57 We've got to win the fight.
00:52:58 What is that, propaganda?
00:52:59 What does it say?
00:53:02 I don't know. I got it off the Chinese calendar.
00:53:04 Oh, really?
00:53:06 [speaking Chinese]
00:53:09 You say we're on a road map with that?
00:53:10 [speaking Chinese]
00:53:15 Oh, a locksmith!
00:53:16 Gee, I'm sorry, Mary.
00:53:20 Don't worry, Danny.
00:53:21 The authorities will put you in Tom's care.
00:53:24 That's right.
00:53:25 Say, listen, fellow, you have to hurry up and get well,
00:53:28 so you can give the bride away.
00:53:29 That's great, Tom.
00:53:31 I must have went crazy.
00:53:37 Monk said things about Mugs and you and Mary, and I...
00:53:44 Monk confessed everything before he died.
00:53:47 He lied about Mugs.
00:53:48 They don't come no better than Mugs.
00:53:52 Say, I have to get going.
00:53:56 That fight will be on soon.
00:53:57 Take it easy, fellow.
00:53:59 So long, honey.
00:54:01 -So long. -See you later, Mom.
00:54:02 I sure wish I could see that fight.
00:54:07 There'll be plenty more fights, son.
00:54:08 Yeah, but this is a special one, Doc.
00:54:11 You see, Mugs and me are pals.
00:54:15 As if we were pals.
00:54:18 I'll tell you what.
00:54:21 We'll bring in a radio.
00:54:22 -Oh, nurse. -Yes, Doctor?
00:54:25 -Bring in a radio. -All right, Doctor.
00:54:26 [crowd cheering]
00:54:29 [crowd cheering]
00:54:30 Hey, there's Mugs, fellas, look!
00:54:38 [crowd cheering]
00:54:56 That kid's a natural. What a dead pan.
00:54:58 In this corner, representing the Boys Athletic Club,
00:55:12 at 126 pounds, wearing purple trunks,
00:55:15 Johnny Ryan!
00:55:17 In this corner, representing the Policemen's Athletic Club,
00:55:24 at 128 and a half pounds,
00:55:26 wearing green trunks,
00:55:28 Mugs McGinnis!
00:55:30 All right, boys.
00:55:41 Now, you boys know the rules.
00:55:43 Have a nice, clean fight.
00:55:44 In case of a knockdown,
00:55:45 the standing fighter goes to the farthest corner.
00:55:46 Shake hands, come out fighting.
00:55:49 [crowd chattering]
00:55:50 [bell dings]
00:56:03 [crowd cheering]
00:56:05 [crowd chattering]
00:56:06 You seem to be doing all right.
00:56:29 I feel okay.
00:56:31 It must have been wonderful blood you found for him, Doctor.
00:56:34 It was. It came from one of Danny's pals.
00:56:36 Who?
00:56:37 A boy with the name of McGinnis.
00:56:39 McGinnis?
00:56:40 Not Mugs McGinnis?
00:56:41 That's the name he gave.
00:56:43 Glory be.
00:56:44 There he is, fighting his heart out,
00:56:45 and a pint of blood missing from his veins.
00:56:46 Fighting?
00:56:48 McGinnis is fighting?
00:56:49 Yes, Doctor.
00:56:50 At the Manhattan Arena.
00:56:51 And we've got to do something about it.
00:56:53 And we will.
00:56:54 Operator, this is Doctor Sterling.
00:56:56 Get me the Manhattan Arena as quickly as possible.
00:56:59 [crowd chattering]
00:57:03 [crowd chattering]
00:57:04 Oh!
00:57:16 [bell dings]
00:57:24 [crowd chattering]
00:57:28 [crowd chattering]
00:57:29 Well, Mugs looks pretty good.
00:57:35 Probably just an act.
00:57:37 He'll throw the fight in the next round.
00:57:39 Hey, puff him for it. It's only the first round.
00:57:42 [crowd chattering]
00:57:44 [bell dings]
00:57:51 M is coming to you from the ringside at the Manhattan Arena.
00:57:56 We've just given you a blow-by-blow description of the first round.
00:57:58 Thank you.
00:57:59 Strange, but no one answers.
00:58:00 They're probably all watching the fight.
00:58:02 I'm going to take a taxi.
00:58:03 Wait a minute, Ma.
00:58:04 Mary, why don't you go with her?
00:58:06 I'm sure Mugs would like that.
00:58:07 You think you'll be all right?
00:58:09 Sure.
00:58:10 We'll take good care of him.
00:58:11 [crowd chattering]
00:58:12 Well, Nurse.
00:58:15 Yes, Doctor?
00:58:16 You'd better stay close by.
00:58:17 All right.
00:58:18 To the Manhattan Arena.
00:58:23 And step on it.

00:59:39 Two, three.
01:00:00 Everything is going to be all right.
01:00:03 Tom, we've got to stop this fight.
01:00:06 Eight, nine.
01:00:07 [crowd chattering]
01:00:11 All right, open it.
01:00:19 Three, four.
01:00:21 [crowd chattering]
01:00:26 Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
01:00:36 [crowd cheering]
01:00:37 Here, Tom.
01:00:49 Go read this.
01:00:50 You see that?
01:01:04 Yeah.
01:01:05 I told you no tricks, sluts.
01:01:06 Listen, Dorgan, give me a break.
01:01:08 I didn't know the kid was going to welt.
01:01:10 To be honest, I didn't.
01:01:11 Oh, there they are.
01:01:14 Come on.
01:01:15 Hello, Dorgan.
01:01:21 Hi, Brady.
01:01:23 How'd you like to bet a grand that Mugs McGinnis won the fight?
01:01:26 What's the gag, copper?
01:01:28 The gag is you're going with us.
01:01:30 All right, boys.
01:01:31 Pay you two just as much.
01:01:33 [crowd chattering]
01:01:34 Look at me, no advertisement or nothing.
01:01:42 We got one for you, too.
01:01:44 Oh, no.
01:01:45 Oh, no, not for me.
01:01:46 I wouldn't wear one of those things even for a wedding.
01:01:47 You're the best man in the ring.
01:01:49 Didn't you always say you'd cut off your right arm for Tom Brady?
01:01:51 Certainly.
01:01:52 Certainly I would, too, but he's the one that's getting married.
01:01:54 Let him get dressed up.
01:01:55 I see we're wasting our time, fellas.
01:01:57 Well, uh, no.
01:01:59 Now, wait a minute, fellas.
01:02:01 I mean, we've been pals a long time.
01:02:02 Don't do that to me.
01:02:03 I'm warning you, guys.
01:02:04 If you come one step closer, I'm--
01:02:05 [crowd chattering]
01:02:07 Hey, fellas, I got one of the hats.
01:02:09 That's all.
01:02:10 I got one of the suits.
01:02:11 I got one of the--
01:02:12 [crowd chattering]
01:02:13 Hey, real silk.
01:02:19 Now, there.
01:02:24 Mugs McGinnis, Esquire.
01:02:26 Hey, how'd I get into these?
